Beginning of 2022 I was battling with a question:
Shall I try freelance contracting?There were many open questions before I was ready to decide. Luckily, I had two friends who were already working as such and could answer most questions. The rest of the questions got clarfied once I started working.
As I started spreading the word about my decision to friends and colleagues, I noticed that I wasn't the only one who didn't know much about this topic.
A few months later, some friends started referring their friends to me to clarify basic questions around contracting. After the 3rd time I went through a Q&A session, I thought I should bundle these questions and put them on a page... And here we are! You can apply the DRY principle also outside of work, right 🤓?
